Contrary to assumptions based on EA's previous announcements, Death Star won't be the last DLC for Star Wars: Battlefront.

A new update will be released in conjunction with the standalone film, Rogue One, later this year. This additional content will be called Rogue One: Scarif, and will let players take on the roles of Jyn Erso, the film's rebellious heroine, or Orson Krennic.

Scarif is the name of the paradise planet seen in the Rogue One trailer, where Erso and crew are seen training with elite stormtroopers and battling AT-ATs. The significance of the world within the greater Star Wars plot is unknown, but we're guessing it's where the Empire stashes the plans for its first Death Star.

Speaking of the infamous planet destroyer, also known as 'That Was Such a Great Idea Let's Do It THREE TIMES', Battlefront's Death Star DLC, is due this September. EA has provided very few details on the pack, other than the fact it will add Chewie and Bossk to the playable hero roster.

The name Bossk had us scratching our heads too. A quick Google reveals that he's that lizard-man-thing seen on the bridge of a star destroyer in The Empire Strikes Back.

What a babe.

Bossk had a hand in training Boba Fett and his race, the Trandoshan, have featured heavily in Star Wars games whilst being all-but ignored in the films. Anyone to have played Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight will recognise these scaly bounty hunters from the vertical cityscapes of Nar Shadaa.

More details on Rogue One: Scarif will surely surface once Death Star has made it's autumnal debut.
